Abstract

The production of gibberellic acid (GA3)
was found to be influenced by physical and nutritional
factors. The nutritional factors studied were the urea
nitrogen and MgSO4 concentrations, whereas the physical
factors were moisture content, autoclaving time,
inoculum ratio and moist medium to culture flask volume
ratio. The yield of GA3 was improved 2.9 times by
judicious selection of these parameters. Thus, the increase
in GA3 yield in the wheat bran medium reduces
the expense on medium and further leads to reduction
of the overall cost of production.
